How Do You Connect A DVD Player To A Computer?
• Step 1 If you don’t already have one, buy a video capture card with a built-in MPEG-2 DVD decoder and motion compensation. Look for a card with S-video or better video inputs. Match the best outputs on your DVD player. • Step 2 Find a video card with audio inputs if possible. Otherwise, buy a sound card with stereo input jacks (not standard). • Step 3 Consider external video-capture devices such as the Iomega Buz, which includes a SCSI card, composite and S-video in and out jacks, stereo audio in and out jacks, and full-screen playback. • Step 4 Install the necessary hardware and software for the video capture device you chose. • Step 5 Plug the DVD player into an outlet near your computer, but keep it as far away as possible to eliminate any chance of feedback on your monitor. • Step 6 Connect cables to the left and right (color-coded red) audio RCA jacks on the back of the DVD player. Connect the other ends of the cables to line-in jacks on your sound card or external video-capture
